duke ellington billy strayhorn
This was from 1965, and one of the very times I had ever seen Billy actually play with the band. Of course it's Take the "A" Train.

Also recorded by pop artists: Donna Summer Queen Latifah #2 Most Discussed (Today) Jazz #5 Most Viewed (Today) Jazz Lush Life Lyrics: I used to visit all the very gay places Those come what may places Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life To get a feel of life from jazz and cocktails. All the men I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distingue traces That used to be there you could see where They'd been washed away by too many through the day Twelve o'clock tails. Then you came along with your siren song To tempt me to madness I thought for a while that your poignant smile Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me. Oh yes. I was wrong Again I was wrong. Now Life is Lonely Again And Only Last Year Everything Seemed SO SURE...

duke ellington, lotus blossom (trio) (strayhorn)
And His Mother Called Him Bill (1967) Personnel: Duke Ellington (piano); Russell Procope, Jimmy Hamilton (alto saxophone, clarinet); Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone); Paul Gonsalves (tenor saxophone); Harry Carney (baritone saxophone); Cat Anderson, Mercer Ellington, Herbie Jones, Cootie Williams (trumpet); Clark Terry (flugelhorn); John Sanders, Lawrence Brown, Buster Cooper, Chuck Connors (trombone); Aaron Bell, Jeff Castleman (bass); Steve Little, Sam Woodyard (drums). I am completely captivated by the Strayhorn/Ellington narrative and by the 1967 CD And His Mother Called Him Bill. Every story has a beginning and a middle, and as many of us eventually figure out , there are no real endings. This CD is a living legacy of that reality. My appreciation for this body of work is inseparable from the love story it expresses. Can you imagine being fortunate enough to meet someone in your lifetime that you connect with on a creative and soul level so profound that it is not a threat to, nor rivalled by any other kind of intimacy? From all that I have read by historians and biographers, and all myths aside, this is the essence of the relationship Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn shared and nurtured for 30 years. A bond beyond gender or sexuality, and even deeper than friendship. Yet, most of their famous compositions were collaborated on while apart and from completely different approaches, one being self taught liking contrast and discord, the other classically trained loving harmony and melody. Strayhorn recalled the first time he watched the Duke in action: Something inside me changed when I saw Ellington on stage, like I hadn't been living until then. And later Ellington described Strayhorn as my right arm, my left arm, all the eyes in the back of my head, my brainwaves in his head, and his in mine. When Billy Strayhorn died in 1967 after a two year struggle with esophagus cancer, Ellington was so devastated that he did not get out of bed for weeks, and three months later he called his band into the studio to record this tribute album. Hence, my inspiration to share. These are my first You Tube uploads, audio only and not perfect, but just lay back, close your eyes and drift.

strayhorn-ellington-3 tunes - abaca string band
Billy Strayhorn was inspired to write "Take the 'A' Train" when Duke Ellington wrote directions for him to get to his house by subway, directions that began, "Take The A Train." Written in 1939, it became the signature tune for the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1940. Following it are two Ellington standards, "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", originally written as the instrumental, "Never No Lament", in 1940 with lyrics and a new title added in 1942, and that tune with the inimitable title, "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", from 1931. The Abaca String Band was founded in 1991 by Andrew Schulman. The members of the group are Schulman, Music Director/8-String Guitar, Robert Zubrycki/Violin, Tamara Volskaya/Domra-Mandolin, Julie Goodale/Viola, Bradley Lovelace/Double Bass.
